Oncinopus sp. 5
10mm

There are a number of species of what appear to be Oncinopus or Inachus spider crabs at Kwajalein, or perhaps there are fewer species with lots of variations. This red eyed individual could be one of the others disguised by a coating of hairy cyanobacteria. It was under a rock on a Kwajalein Atoll lagoon reef.
